PatrickSpot Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I recently pushed a bunch of sheet-layers to be cloud published to a PDF and it replaced non-standard fonts that I had from clients branding. Is there a way to package the font data with the document? Because this is title-block text, it is dynamic text and I cannot turn it into poly-line text. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 From the VW Cloud Services Help. Quote Manage fonts and font mappings If you are a Vectorworks Service Select member, you can use Vectorworks Cloud Services to generate .pdf files from Vectorworks (.vwx) files in Vectorworks Cloud Services, Dropbox, or Google Drive storage, leaving the desktop computer free to do other tasks. The cloud server has approximately 400 Windows TrueType and OpenType fonts available for .pdf file generation. See Fonts for a complete list. To get the proper fonts in the generated files, you might need to change your Vectorworks font mappings or upload custom fonts. During .pdf file generation, the cloud server searches for fonts using the following priority: Cloud server system fonts Current font mappings in your cloud preferences Custom fonts that you have uploaded to cloud storage If neither the font nor a mapping is found, Arial is substituted, and an email is sent to you (if the cloud notification preference is set). See Set preferences. Font files must be Windows TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf) format and uncompressed. Various free online font conversion tools are available. UPLOAD FONTS Upload font files to the same location where the .vwx file is stored. See Upload files. Vectorworks Cloud Services storage: Place the font file anywhere in Vectorworks Cloud Services. Dropbox storage: Place the font file anywhere in Dropbox (for full access integration) or in the Dropbox > Apps > Vectorworks Cloud Services folder (for limited access integration). Google Drive storage: Place the font file anywhere in your Google Drive storage. Quote Link to comment
techdef Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 In theory. I've been trying to get it to work for a year without much luck. Quote Link to comment
techdef Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Update: Finally getting some progress here, but using .ttc files (from Mac OS). Contrary to the instructions, .otf and .ttf files seem to fail / error, or even worse, they render pixelated instead of vector. 1 Quote Link to comment
